1959 Borgward Isabella One of the most remarkable attributes of
this Isabella is that it retains its original ivory-colored paint
in magnificent condition. Only the two front panels below the
chrome strip have been repainted. There are a few dimples, but they
are a testament to the life and history of the car. There are only
a handful of pepper-like spots of rust on the front grille diamond
and under the front headlights. There is no rust at all on the
undercarriage. The chrome all the way around the car is in perfect
condition also. The Taillights, parking lights and reflectors are
flawless and appear as original. The wheels are new and have been
painted to match, exactly, the original ivory body color. The tires
are brand new whitewalls by Coker. The hub caps are replacements.
The windshield is new. Included with this car is a brand-new
custom-made dust cover by California Car Covers. Interior: The
interior, like the exterior, is remarkably original, from the
headliner to the chording to the upholstery and rubber mats, as is
the Bakelite surrounding the windows and all of the dash. The
steering wheel, shifting and turn signal lever and the instrument
panel are perfect. The clock and the cigar lighters are both
original but are not working. The Motorola AM radio is original and
most likely is the one that was installed by the dealership that
delivered the vehicle. It has been restored and the speaker
replaced so that all work like new again. The clutch and brake
pedal pads are new. In the trunk, all is in excellent original
condition, even the vinyl floor liner. The spare tire is also new
and there is a tool kit which appears to be original. Mechanical:
The mechanics of the car are in perfect order. It starts, runs, and
shifts beautifully. The engine has been completely rebuilt and
repainted in its original black color. The block was bored, and new
oversized pistons were installed along with a new clutch,
throughout bearing and press plate. All were rebalanced Please Note
